©tJTY OF SOUTHERN DEMOCRATS.
W print In another column on thlt

trfbuied to The Telegfaph by Con*

Hi says to cor readers.
After Mr. Bryan's awond defeat la
- ght pears ago—The Telegraph
tried writ* all Its might to create a
■ *ithneot In favor of a distinctive
sonHnia Democratic party. Th*
quest ion was taken up and discussed
North and Couth. It met with little
J\rt>r The Telegraph believed that
n at wan the only army ta escape the
dorutnatlon ef Bryan at that time,
apd to opto th* way to a better na
tional Democracy. Rut tb* condition*
er- different and more hopeful In that
.•’Iranian now. Rryan ta eliminated,
anlem th# party is too moribund to
snake an evert Ion at the lilt prima
ries. Ha must renounce further lead-
msblp as a candidate, and if he does
udt the Democratic »na*#e# will do the
refloat*tag for him. It will be Impoe-
Sgfie to hold the Month In Un
rryan *e A candidate a fourth time.
Rut there are now In the H*-uth
n.miytr of newspapers advocating the
erganlaatton of a concrete flouthem
Demoaratlo party which combatted
vigorously the suggestion mad* by The
Telegraph eight years sgo. These
brethren are simply eight years be
htr.d. Romethlng useful might have
heet accomplished If they had Joined
ua then. A severance at that time
would tiava brought an earlier end to
-Sryanlami That done fheth - would
hava followed quickly a revivification

North and South. Without the Mouth
at Rt. Louts four years sgo backing
Parker Bryan would Hava run that
year bla third race as the candidate of
the Northern Democracy. He would
hare received practically no electoral
votes. We would have landed then
where we are now—rid of Bryan and
'ready to reorganise.
But. as wo have aald. the course we
odrleed then ta not the course to pur-
ate now. Thera ta an admirable
chance, during the n**t four years, to
reorganise on th# lines eo clearly and
edmlmMy outlined by Congressman
Brantley—to organise a strong, mili
tant national Democracy In opposition
re the Republican party which ahall
are to battle, as our fathers did. with
hop* and oouruge. and winning, not al
ways. but sometime*; winning at least
the eonfldene* of gist part of the
business world which asks no special
fevers and claims no pre-empted right
te lay tax** to fatten their purses, and
without which element experience has
shown no party can win
Those thing* can be accomplished
If the ocher Routhera States will fol

to take the short out to end Bryan-

In hi* present work which few or none
are no peculiarly qualified to perform
and the Importance of which cannot

his lecture Is hla effectlv# method of
handling the Iconoclasts who contend
that fihakespeure was not the author
of hi* own works because he Is knowi
never to have attended a university or
other institution ef higher learning,
and similar untenable arguments.
In this connection Mr Wards re
lates an Incident which I* perhaps
entirely new to the public. Aa la well
known, aeveral of Shakes pet re*g Orerk
and Roman playa are based on t*i* his
tori cal material found In Plutarch**
Lives and adhere in their const ruction
pretty faithfully to th# Plutarch ver
sions. Mr. Wards says. In eubflUnc*.
that toms years ago a Boston anti-
quarlan who was making a tour of
th* South while rambling through tb*
street* and alley* of Charleston, B. C.,
■tumbled upon a eort of Junk Fhop
•nd found among a pH# of old b
an ancient copy of Plutarch, tl# paid
fifty cent* far the book, carried It to
his hotel, brushed the duet off of It
ard found that It was the first orlf
Inal English translation of PluUrch'i
Lives printed during Bhakeapeara’e
time, and on the fly isuf he found
*hakeep*ar**e signature similar to tha
signature •• Hsu been preeerved to
posterity. The owner of thte priae
brought It to the attention of the
proper English authorities and they
pieced It on exhibition In the Britteh
Museum aa probably Fhskespeare's
copy of Plutarch and pnaltlve evl
denre of the fact thft he wee familiar
with that author.
The story ts an Interesting one and
there Is nothing Improbable in th# feet
that a book which had belonged to
the great author could have found Ita
way to ths Atnertcan ehoras.
PARDONABLE CURIOSITY,
There appear* to be #om# delay still
In publishing th# Republican campaign
contributions, notwithstanding
election I* over and It can be don# now
without affecting results that are now
settled. The Phllad*l|Ma Record says:
Chairman Hitchcock and Treasurer
Hhridon are rather 'backward In com*
Ing forwnrd' with their promised af
ur-sleetten publication of the list of
contributors to the Teft campaign.
They say by way of anticipation that
the list was never bsfora so numer
ous. There can be no doubt about It.
Never before was found so mueh need
nf money for a Republican campaign.
Nor was there ever before so numer
ous an army ef htgh-aalarlad office*
holders nr so Urge a body of men en
joying or expecting profit*!!* Govern,
ment eontraotl Hence It became# a
matter of laudable curiosity to know
how much money th# Republican
financiers found necessary to ear# the
country In the lat# campaign*
We treat the Republican managers
will givs It stl to us at onsa and not

The public stomach Is strong. It hae

MORE HOOK WORMS.
Governor Gtenn. of North Carolina,
If said to have resented—and no won-

service, at a meeting of the Country
Life Com mist Ion In Ralslght

Th* Telegraph Is Inclined to believe
that some of thaee "hook worm" en

gested that tksae worms are far mors
numerous In the soli around country
